#17 Speaking Part 2 : Describe a decision made by others/someone that you disagreed with

 

What the decision was

How was it made

What you disagreed with

And explain why you disagreed with it

Well, I am going to share my experience when I disagreed with my mother's decision. Actually it happened in 2012. At that time, I just finished my high school and I decided to pursue my bachelor degree at Institut Teknologi Bandung. I could say that I was in dilemma to choose between Mathematics and Nuclear Physics as my major. However, my mother forced me to choose Nuclear Physic instead of Mathematic because she thought that Nuclear Physics had a very promising job in the future.

And also, my mother convinced me that I had a great passion in learning physic instead of learning numbers in mathematics. I could say that I didn't very happy with her suggestion but because she was my parents and also she was the person who is going to be responsible with my tuition fund so I just said yes to her option, even though I knew that I was not happy about it. So I could say that, during my first year of my study, I didn't quite enjoy it but at the end my study, I just realize that I was very fond of learning Physics because I could join a student exchange to Osaka University.

My self-correction:

1. "I just finished my high school". Ini seharusnya tanpa diikut possessive pronoun my. Cukup langsung I just finished high school.
   
2. "to pursue my bachelor degree". Kalau ini seharusnya ada ekstra huruf s sebagai kata milik "my bachelor's degree"
   
3. " I was in dilemma " Ini kurang artikel indefinitif menjadi "I was in a dilemma"
   
4. " I had a great passion in learning physic". Ingat di collocation
   PREP. ~ for He developed a real passion for acting.
5. " I didn't very happy" INI KATA KERJANYA SEHARUSNYA WAS wkwkwk
   
6. "who is going to be responsible with my tuition fund". Ingat di collocation : PREP. for They're responsible for cleaning the engine.
   
7. "during my first year of my study" Maunya merujuk pada general sehingga dibutuhkan artikel indefinitif "the"
   
8. "a student exchange to Osaka University." Salah preposisi, seharusnya bukan to tapi menjadi at Osaka University karena sudah merujuk pada tempat yang spesifik.
